In MapPro71, I had a project that needed 3 different close-up views of an area, at different magnifications. Because mappro71 didn't support multiple instances, I ended up having to use the function DirectView. I am trying to use the same function in MapPro80, but it doesn't appear to be working the same way. Is anyone else having the same problem?

DirectView worked the same way, last time I tried it in MapPro80, but why use that? The new OCX allows you to have more than one map with just placing another instance on your project. You don;t have to fudge with DirectView any longer!

Because every time I try to do that, I run into all sorts of problems. Since I know that multiple copies of the control in MapPro71 were not allowed, I figured that was still true. And, since directview used to work fine for me, I opted for that, but that doesn't seem to work the same way either, so I am stuck

Sorry Ushadow. You are right, there wasn't enough detail there, but I just get so frustrated because I keep running into the wall with this

Basically, I have two forms in my application. One is my main map and the other is a smaller map that is zoomed in 4 times more. If I put an instance of the control on my main form and one on my secondary form, when I try to run my project, I get an access violation. If I use the DirectView on my secondary form, like I used to do with mappro71, then when I run the program my secondary form is blank. No error messages, or anything, just blank.

I checked and double-checked all the parameters I pass and everything, but I can't spot the problem. If it makes a difference, I am using VD-2010, Vb.Net which I was also using when developing with mappro71.
